[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 1550923, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=309314]@mum2one[/USER], Welcome. There are many knowledgeable and friendly members on this forum -- I am sure some can help you with your question about thyroxine and metformin. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling so poorly. You have been through quite a lot lately. From your description of symptoms, I definitely appears as if your blood sugars are high. When was last appointment with your GP or nurse? What were your blood sugars at the time? Lowering your blood glucose will almost certainly help with your infection and probably also with your hot flashes. Many of us on this forum have a meter and measure blood sugars regularly in spite of what we were told by health professionals. I find that it initially it was a good way to figure out how my blood sugars were reacting to different types of food, exercise, stress and lack of sleep. Now, I mainly use it to stay on track. I will also tag [USER=379847]@AM1874[/USER], who has great information on meters and [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER], who has very helpful information for newcomers. Personally, I have used a low carb diet to get my blood sugars under control. Exercise is helpful, but diet is probably way more important. Are you a vegetarian? The whole grain rice in your vegetarian stir fry probably didn't help your blood sugars. You could substitute cauliflower rice for the whole grain rice, for example, with much less impact on your blood sugars. Have a read around the forum and please feel free to ask any questions.
